The matter of the photos was eventually settled at a price that was slightly unfair to both parties.

As evening fell, standing atop the Greek theater on the mountaintop, watching the seawater lick the shore for a while, Li Changzhou and his two companions met up with Aferona.

A resort hotel with meeting rooms.

"Then, Mosquito and I will disguise ourselves as your subordinates," Yang Qinglan instructed Aferona.

“Okay,” Aferona replied.

She does whatever the higher-ups say without ever having any doubts.

"Alright, you can go now. Let me know when they arrive," Li Changzhou said.

"yes."

After Aferona left, Li Qianxia lay on the soft bed, her body as straight as a matchstick.

I was sleepy and mentally exhausted. I didn't sleep, but lying like this, feeling like I was about to fall asleep but not quite, felt very comfortable.

In the suite's living room, Yang Qinglan took out a small jade cauldron and began refining medicine.

According to the recipe provided by the Little Jade Cauldron, no additional auxiliary ingredients are needed; only refined medicinal herbs are required.

First, add the figs.

The jade alchemy furnace turned red, shining like coal in a fire pit, but without any heat waves.

Fifteen minutes later, a wisp of white mist rose from the lid of the cauldron, and the small jade cauldron returned to its jade color.

Yang Qinglan picked up the lid of the cauldron with her slender hand, inside which lay three constitution pills.

"Three?" Li Changzhou pondered for a moment.

According to the information Aferona obtained, the church can only make one potion that enhances attributes from a single herb.

According to the recipe, one Constitution Pill can improve one's constitution by one point.

"Is the church's potion, which can increase three points per bottle, or is the Little Jade Cauldron more advanced, maximizing the use of medicinal materials and refining three potions from one batch?" he asked, half asking himself and half talking to himself.

The Great Luo of All Worlds

"I guess it's the latter," Yang Qinglan said casually, showing no interest in things that were pointless to discuss.

Just like when she first took Li Changzhou into the instance, she didn't tell him any information, because that information was useless for passing the instance.

She picked up a physique pill that looked like a jade bead.

【Name: Constitution Pill】

[Type: Elixir]

[Quality: A]

[Special Effect: Slightly increases constitution]

Minimum requirement for use: Living being

[Description: The maximum Constitution level will not exceed 10 points; it has no effect on players who have broken through the limit but whose Constitution level is below 10 points, and it slightly restores their abilities.]

[Note: This is a perfectly crafted elixir with no side effects – produced by Xiaoyuding]

Yang Qinglan ate one.

A tingling sensation spread from my stomach, and my whole body felt as comfortable as if it were being washed with hot water.

Once the initial relief subsided, the mental fatigue vanished, and the body returned to the state it had been in when it first arrived at April 9th ​​Square that morning.

"Qianxia," she called towards the bedroom.

“…Mmm.” Li Qianxia kept her face buried in the pillow, motionless, and sounded like she was about to fall asleep.

Yang Qinglan picked up another one and put it in her mouth, raising her physique to 10 points, while giving Li Changzhou a look.

Li Changzhou picked up the last one, got up, took two or three big steps to the bedside, and forcefully smeared it on his younger sister's face, as if washing the face of a sleeping child.

"Waaah, waaah—" Li Qianxia suddenly sat up, clutching her throat, "What did you feed me?!"

"Leftover food stuck in your teeth."

"You—" Li Qianxia's expression was extremely disgusted, but a sudden feeling of comfort interrupted her nausea.

Huh? Am I the pervert? I'm a pervert? Eating food stuck between my brother's teeth actually feels good?

Li Qianxia was filled with self-doubt, her expression blank, when she suddenly caught sight of the small jade cauldron in the living room and the only remaining medicinal herb, and realized what she had eaten.

She jumped off the bed, grabbed a pillow, and smacked her brother from behind.

But she didn't say anything harsh; she didn't have time for that at the moment.

"Let's go to the night market!" she said excitedly.

Whether it was the Constitution Pill that restored her spirit or enhanced her physical abilities, Li Qianxia was now as excited as a dog preparing for a walk, or a pig watching its owner carrying a large bowl of vegetable leaves toward the pigpen (a metaphor from Li Changzhou who was picking up a pillow).

"The tour is over." Yang Qinglan ruthlessly rejected the suggestion to take the dog for a walk and to give the pig an extra meal.

She then asked, "There's one left. Should we continue refining it into a Constitution Pill, or save it to use as an auxiliary ingredient in other pills?"

Now that all three of them have reached 10 points in physique, and a single medicinal herb with a full value can serve as an auxiliary ingredient for other pills, there is absolutely no need to continue refining physique pills.

But Li Changzhou thought for a moment and said, "Let's refine it. We'll give one to Aferona later. If she performs even better, it's no problem to reward her with more."

Yang Qinglan glanced at him.

"Qinglan, don't be jealous." The energetic Li Qianxia sat down beside him. "My brother is simply generous. Aferona went to great lengths to find things for him, and he didn't care about keeping a few herbs; he just wanted to repay her. I remember when we were little..."

Yang Qinglan wasn't jealous at all; she just noticed another side of Li Changzhou, which is why she glanced at him more often.

But she didn't explain, and listened to Li Qianxia's little story.

Li Changzhou had never worked, but he earned some money through his studies, especially since he ranked first in the liberal arts in Mingcheng, for which the school awarded him 300,000 yuan.

With this 300,000 yuan, Li Qianxia was prepared to coast through university, but then an old man from the village had an accident while riding an electric tricycle.

Most of the people who remained in the village were poor, and the old man's family didn't have the money to save him.

Li Changzhou paid 280,000 yuan in medical expenses for the other party and insisted that they not repay him, just because the old man had helped find people to carry the coffin when the siblings' grandparents passed away.
